Federal obligations in international affairs (NAICS 928120)

A public-administration NAICS at $712.3M

NAICS 928120 is an administration-sector title, not a private manufacturing line. Contracting officers still apply it to 343 USAspending contract awards totaling $712.3M in obligations. The figure is not a count of treaties and not a count of overseas posts.

Administration of public health programs (923120) is a different 92-sector code. This page does not score diplomacy. Packet facts are the dollar total and the 343 count. Country lists and mission names are not in the harvest.

343 awards and a large-action average

Three hundred forty-three awards against $712.3M averages about $2.1M per action—among the larger simple averages in this industry slice. That pattern fits a small file of sizable international-affairs vehicles rather than a long tail of small tickets. 343 is not unique vendors and not unique countries.

With so few actions carrying $712.3M, amount sort on the industry hub will likely show a concentrated set of large rows. Treat $2.1M as a divider, not a typical invoice and not a foreign-aid total.

Public-administration NAICS codes appear on contracts when a vendor supports an international-affairs function. They do not convert the extract into a foreign-policy ledger. $712.3M on 343 awards remains a tagged-contract total. Program pages remain the path for assistance that never received a NAICS code.

Contracts tagged 928120 versus assistance

This extract is contract obligations with a NAICS tag. Development and diplomatic grants often travel as assistance and may not carry NAICS at all. $712.3M therefore understates any broader international-affairs spending that lives on program pages. Dual-coded vendors can appear under 928120 on some actions and under a professional-service code on others.

Cite the extract as $712.3M in USAspending contract obligations tagged to NAICS 928120, international affairs, on 343 awards. The packet has no fiscal year. Live tables can move; the harvested pair remains $712.3M and 343.

Obligations, not outlays or policy judgments

International-affairs contracts often obligate a period and pay on accepted deliverables. $712.3M is committed value on 343 tagged actions, not cash already paid for every task. Cancellations de-obligate. Outlays track payments separately. The page is a public-record rollup, not an accusation and not voting advice.

Keep $712.3M attached to 928120 as tagged. Neighbor 92-sector codes such as 923120 stay on their own hubs. This overlay does not reclassify assistance into the contract cell.

A public-administration tag is not a foreign-aid ledger

International-affairs work often travels as assistance that never receives a NAICS code. $712.3M on 343 contract awards is therefore a narrow extract: tagged contracts only. It is not a diplomacy scorecard, not a treaty count, and not a country list. Public-health program administration (923120) is a different 92-sector title.

The about $2.1M average on 343 actions is one of the larger simple averages in this slice. Amount sort on the international affairs industry page will likely show a concentrated set of large vehicles. 343 is not unique vendors and not unique posts. This page does not offer political advice.
